I have no idea what happened with the development of that game in any fashion. I just bought it and like what I played. I never looked into it because I figured most of it was going to be Paradox being Paradox.
I love Paradox games so much but my god yes. After Stellaris I vowed to never buy one of their games again. It INFURIATED me that they had a thing you could buy that was specifically for all the DLC and then released more DLC and didn’t include it in that first pack. Made you buy them all individual or to buy a Season Pass which wasn’t mentioned or noted or even suggested would be happening.
Pricks.
Which sucks so much because Surviving Mars is one of my favorite games of all time.
